Population ecology (Ecological characteristics) of Squalidus japonicus coreanus from the Namhan River(Yangpyeong-gun Yangpyeong-eup Changde-ri), Gyeonggi-do, Korea were investigated from January to December 2011. Short barbel gudgeon inhabits habitats run of the lower river. The stream bed was mostly covered sand. Their current velocities were 0.14~1.38m/sec and depths were 80~120cm. The sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 0.82. It is presumed that the spawning season is from June to July and water temperatures were $18.5{\sim}24.3^{\circ}C$. Sexually matured individuals appeared over the two year of age. Frequency analysis of total length indicated that the group with 34~50mm in total length was one year old, the 51~74mm was two years old, and the group over 75mm was three years old. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was estimated as 1,871 per matured female. Stomach content of S. japonicus coreanus were Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Rotatoria, Crustaceae, Copepoda, Ephemeroptera, Diptera, and Nematoda. omnivorous, mainly feeds on benthic invertebrates such as chironomidae larvae.

Two unrecorded species of Heteroderinae, Clobodera hypolysi Ogawa, Ohshima and Ichinohe, 1983 and Sarisodera hydrophila Wouts and Sher, 1971 from Korea were firstly reported. The Korean specimens well correspond with the original description of Globodera hypolysi except stylet length of the juveniles, slightly shorter (21~24 vs. 24~25 $\mu$m) and shorter distance from the anus to the fenestra in cyst (22~50 vs. 25~80$\mu$m). The measurements of Korean specimen of Sarisodera hydrophila are slightly short compared with the type species; Female body length 367.2~597.6$\mu$m vs 359~688$\mu$m; Stylet length 37~44$\mu$m vs 38~46$\mu$m; Male body length 662~11987m vs 579~1405$\mu$m; stylet length 37~43.8$\mu$m vs 38~46$\mu$m. Juvnile body length 460~536$\mu$m vs 466~5587m. stylet length 32~387m vs 39~43$\mu$m.

Ocular setariases of cattle were reported but those of equine hosts have never been reported in the Republic of Korea (Korea). We found motile worms in the aqueous humor of 15 horses (Equus spp.) from 12 localities in southern parts of Korea between January 2004 and November 2017. After the affected animals were properly restrained under sedation and local anesthesia, 10 ml disposable syringe with a 16-gauge needle was inserted into the anterior chamber of the affected eye to successfully remove the parasites. The male worm that was found in 7 of the cases showed a pair of lateral appendages near the posterior terminal end of the body. The papillar arrangement was 3 pairs of precloacal, a pair of adcloacal, and 3 pairs of postcloacal papillae, plus a central papilla just in front of the cloaca. The female worms found in the eyes of 8 horses were characterized by the tapering posterior terminal end of the body with a smooth knob. Worms were all identified as Setaria digitata (von Linstow, 1906) by the morphologic characteristics using light and electron microscopic observations. This is the first blindness cases of 15 horses infected with S. digitata (Nematoda: Filarioidea) in Korea.

Four new species of predatory nematodes belonging to the Actinolaimoidea, Dorylaimida are described. Neoactinolaimus gosungensis n. sp. is 2.2-2.4 mm long, b = 4.3-4.9; c = 10.7-11.2; species 60-62 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ long and is distinguishable by low lip region, asymmetrical odontostyle and its wider lumen. Egtitus arcuatus n. sp. is 1.5-1.8 mm long, b = 3.6-4.2; c = 14-15 and is characterized by having dorsally arcuate odontostyle and presence of cardiac glands at base of oesophagus. Paractinolaimus tuberculantus n. sp. is 1.9-2.5 mm long, b = 3.3-4.0, c = 7.2-8.8, spicules 66-69 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ long and is unique in having coiled body posture and a tubercle at the base of oesophagus. Carcharolaimus koriensis n. sp. is 1.7-1.9 mm long, b = 3.6-4.5, c = 65-76 and is characterized by having very thick body cuticle and larger odontostyle aperture.

A new species of draconematid nematode, Paradraconema jejuense n. sp., is described from the shallow sublittoral coarse sediments of Jeju Island, Korea. Paradraconema jejuense n. sp. is most similar to P. antarcticum Allen and Noffsinger, 1978 in having similar habitus (long slender body) and amphideal fovea (doubled elongate spiral in male and circular spiral in female), but is distinguished by the following characteristics: larger number of posterior sublateral adhesion tubes (10 in male and 11-12 in female) and subventral adhesion tubes (16 in male and 17-18 in female), fewer cephalic acathiform setae on rostrum (a pair of small cephalic acathiform setae in both sexes), the absence of eye-spots, and the presence of a differentiated lateral field in mid-body region. This is the first taxonomic report on Paradraconema species from Korea.

The authors investigated feeding habit of river sculpin(C. poecilopus) were conducted at the Chiak streams from April 1993 to March 1994. The feeding habit of C. poecilopus was mainly acquatic insects, such as Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Nematoda, teleost fishes, fish egg and terrestrial insects. Terrestrial insects in the stomach contents were found mainly in autumn, and teleost fish(Moroco oxycephalus) was in summer. Aquatic insects(Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera and Diptera) constituted the bulk of food items ingested during each season. The prey selection indices for Ephemeroptera were positively selected in summer, and negatively selected in autumn and winter, Tricoptera and Diptera were positively selected in autumn and winter, and negatively selected in summer. Additionally, analysis for stomach contents of guarding males suggests that the parental males eat their own eggs during egg guarding(filial-cannibalism).
